“I found myself wishing that we could live like the birds and move through nature without hurting it ourselves.”

-Ross Macdonald

“In those vernal seasons of the year, when the air is calm and pleasant, it were an injury and sullenness against Nature not to go out and see her riches, and partake in her rejoicing with heaven and earth.”

-John Milton

“Go out, go out I beg of you
And taste the beauty of the wild.
Behold the miracle of the earth
With all the wonder of a child.”

-Edna Jaques
